About ThreadVigil
ThreadVigil provides a native macOS dashboard for monitoring coding agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor. It aggregates session statuses, waiting states, and local token cost estimates into a single interface without sending coding history to external servers. The tool is designed for privacy-conscious engineers, offering a local-first architecture that stores only normalized metadata for seven days rather than full transcripts. It includes features like real-time notifications for waiting sessions, a menu bar quick-view for status updates, and the ability to generate editable continuation handoffs locally. ThreadVigil operates entirely offline except for Sparkle update checks and is signed and notarized by Apple. It supports macOS 14 or later and is free to use.
